Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting #2
"A wonderful creamy frosting! Make lots, double or triple the recipe and freeze in 1 cup containers, this frosting freezes well. Although you most certainly can use half and half cream, whipping cream produces a creamier texture for this frosting."

Absolutely loved this! I had some plain graham crackers I wanted to use up and made this to have like a spread on them. It was wonderful! The peanut butter does not overpower the chocolate and vice versa. Wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing! -

Wow, the whipping cream really does make a difference. I forgot the vanilla but to be honest, didn't notice until I pulled up the recipe to do the review. This is a quick, easy, fullproof and tasty recipe! Thanks for sharing. -
Great! Very easy to make even by hand (and I had my share of making bad frostings!=P). I also like its smooth consistency.
